Hey everyone! It's been a good bit since I debated. In fact, it's been so long that I graduated college, got married, and had a kid. But you know what they say: once a debater, always a debater. Long story short, I was suffering from new-mom jitters and wrote a free Lincoln-Douglas sourcebook for NCFCA. I know that any person can "write a sourcebook," and so I think I owe it to you all to make my case for why this one is good.#1: I have a degree in Western Legal Traditions with a double minor in Psychology and Criminal Justice. So I've learned about the workings of the resolution under the instruction of PhD professors and lawyers. #2: It has a LOT of peer-reviewed sources. I know people make fun of LD debaters for supposedly not taking evidence as seriously as policy debaters, but anyone who has seen the best of the best knows for a fact that isn't true. #3: Amazing definitions from top dictionaries- as in Black's Law Dictionary and more. #4: The bibliography is super long. So if you don't like my take on things, you have a great starting point for some really helpful evidence. But, like I said, it is 100% free. If you are a coach and want to help your students, this might come in handy.The pdf download of the sourcebook is on my blog:https://emilydoesphilosophy.wordpress.c ... ost-title/

I've known Emily for years. I can confirm that she is one of the smartest, brightest minds to come out of NCFCA, a fantastic individual, and a terrific researcher. I absolutely recommend this sourcebook. I wish I had more resources like this back when I was competing in the league.

What year did you graduate LU, Laura? That is when I met Emily and in surprised I wouldn't be have known you.
